Impact

Installations  (1).png

Over five creative workshops, 40 young people aged 12–18 from Portsmouth North worked alongside architects, artists, designers and architectural historians to imagine a sweeter, greener and more inclusive Portsmouth.

​

Using gingerbread, cardboard, bamboo, recycled materials and digital technologies, participants designed and built an edible city inspired by Portsmouth's past, present and future.

​

The project culminated in a two-week public exhibition at Pitt Street Skatepark during the Easter holidays, inviting visitors to explore the city's landmarks through the eyes of its young creatives.

"Our architecture and 3d design students learnt a lot about Portsmouth local history. Working with the gingerbread was challenging in a really nice way - a new experience. [Students] had a lot of fun and it’s been really great."

- Claudia Cole, Teacher in Visual Arts, COPC

"Students loved the workshops, it was really nice to see the students work as a team, communicating and making incredible structures. They really enjoyed learning about the local community in a very engaging way."

- Liberty Morrison, Curriculum Enrichment Lead for Art and Design Technology, Trafalgar School
